Funny. first time backpacker. camping. hiking. backpacking.
Let’s be honest none of these are essential
Respectfully, I think Gray Bearded Green Berets categories are better: He talks about needs first and goes from there.
Some things he would always include
Navigation (always to include a compass)
Signal capability
Water filtration
At least 2x ways to make a fire (preferably one that is easy such as a lighter)
First aid (always to include a tourniquet (TQ)
“Something to sleep under, something to sleep on, something to sleep in”
Safety officer Dan to the rescue 👮♂️
why does this guy kinda look and sound a bit like john krasinski? I LOVE THAT GUY also this vid is very educational
I feel like a lot of essentials lists can be controversial but these are actually all essential!
Whats in the first aid that youll need right then is there a tourniquet on it for a compound fracture my point is its ok to be in side ur bag a blister wont kill you, but if ur worried get yourself a R.A.T.S. tourniquet keep it in your hip pocket
Hello 👋 Dan, thank you for sharing the essentials for backpacking. Stay safe out there. 😊
You forgot the knife bro 😊
Add something to start a fire.
I bikepacked the 3,000 mile Tour Divide route with no first aid kit. Only carried a spot tracker because I was racing. I still do multi-day trips regularly without both items. Fear=Gear
A firearm self defense class and some kind of daily self assessment of your Body instant emergency survival skills for things that can & do happen when we least expect due to things like nature accidents with weather and other unexpected unexplainable incidents that may cost a instant loss of some or all Food essential needs & electrical technology or unexpected sneaky wild animal encounter that may cause you choose or to run for your life for your own safety into a unknown location & trip & fall down a hill sinkhole water fall etc. & fall unconscious for a period of time and not knowing if you have a self injury minutes or hours later & would be important to have knowledge of certain plants plan B survival skills to help your injury emergency food and the correct steps to increase your chances of surviving & be rescued
Do you have recommendations for a head that that can quickly switch from white to red with out going through all the white settings?
Depends where you are, I wouldn’t say water filters are needed for every trip
A caveat with the satellite communicatior or PLB is consider what type of terrain you’re on.
Reason being if there’s a chance you can slide downhill and generally speaking get beat to f— by the terrain there’s a solid chance that anything attached to your or your rucksack is going to get shredded and / or ripped off.
Just a thought.
What do you think k a hard shell is ? 🤦🤦🤦
That medical kit doesn’t need to be accessible at a moments notice. There’s nothing in there to help in an emergency. Take your time putting on your moleskin and get a real first aid kit!
A few suggestions, may I:
My rain jacket is a poncho – its also a tarp and my backpack rain cover-can wear backpack underneath it and i collect water in it. I like multipurpose items so there is less weight.
My knife is an Aranyik socket handle one – handle doesnt need maintenance, great for packing soil and the machete/knife is a shovel too. I torch birch tar, dry a layer first for a few days then torch – on it mixed with ashes so it becomes birch pitch and prevents rust.
My saw is always a bucksaw blade in a money belt, used as a strop.
My luxury is leather boots and a wooden handle – i use birch tar to maintain both. For wooden handles, the longer soaking and drying time is the better ! We used to soak ours and dry for months at a time prior to a slight torch/sand and redo.
For leather – 50/50 mix with leather grease – Varusteleka has both.
If i dont want maintenance for a handle – pine pitch in a deer antler is the best one.
Side note – birch pitch does not crack/break due to sudden temperature changes unlike pine pitch. Birch tar, pitch, glue are THE BEST for extreme weather conditions.
Any emergency gear is always outside of my backpack. I need to access it with one hand.
A bear bag to toss with a bit of food to save the main one and a bear noise maker/flare are outside too.
Happy travels !
Forgot something to disinfect water. After all 3 days without it ain’t gonna look nice
Good list. Having a poop kit handy and not at the bottom of your pack is helpful too
Yikes $400 for a satellite communicator I’ll just stay lost.
What rain jacket is that?
Aaron Rodgers got hurt and now does camping videos?
I didn’t know John Krasinski is into outdoor stuffs..
Where is pam?
Thanks
Follow the ten essentials.. leave the GPS thingy at home.. Believe it or not. You don’t need it.
Aleve back & body, Yes!
Melaleuca spray ( tea tree )travel size helps with skin irritations
a lighter or two.
Yep
Americans need special gear for walking…
im a vagabond, you carry much more than i do.
I got stuck at Mt. Katahdin In the middle of the night with a dead flashlight and no water filter, those are the biggest ones for me.
How about the ability to read a map and use a compass? Never see that one. I do not know how in the hell I and my 4 cousins did a through hike of the AT 37 years ago without a GPS. Must have been blind luck.
Lost 95% of viewers with satellite communicator. 🤣
A Glock 19 . And not because of bears or lions .
FINALLY An influencer suggesting an EPIRB (satellite emergency beacon). Most hikers/campers will spend more on their shoes than what an EPIRB costs. When it’s literally a life saving device it’s very cheap.
Yea definitely make sure you know where your head lamp is.👍😎
I find your lack of trauma medical equipment disturbing.
Always bring an emergency whistle! They’re pretty small but really loud! You can clip it on your bag, and some hiking bags have them built in, which is neat. Btw these are used to help search and rescue find you if you get lost.
What about food?
great video! what headlamp is that??
I bought a first aid kit and never bring it. 😂 Also, im poor, so i dont have a satellite communicater.
Was hopin for the loop&you delivered👑 thanks for the tips
A magnum .44
Is the spot r genuinely worth it over the spot?
Nice!
Great advice
Common sense really
Most important thing is a whistle, we’ve established this over 100 years of city people going into the bush. Your sat garbage can die but a whistle never needs batteries.
Many thanks for the reminder and for the links in the Description. 😎👍🏻🏕️
